Condition: Pre-Loved

In the spring of 1945, as the Red Army swept into Berlin, crates containing one of archaeology’s greatest treasures were quietly loaded onto a Soviet military aircraft and flown to Moscow — where they vanished. Inside those crates: Heinrich Schliemann’s legendary collection of gold from the lost city of Troy. King Priam’s Treasure — gold diadems with leaf and flower pendants, gold bottles, earrings, and over 9,000 gold rings and buttons — one of the most complete and extraordinary finds ever made by an archaeologist.

After two years of painstaking research, Caroline Moorehead traces the full story of where these priceless artefacts have been for nearly half a century. A gripping blend of history, mystery, and archaeology — essential reading for anyone fascinated by ancient civilisations, lost treasures, or the hidden spoils of war.
